Grand Daddy Purple S1 & Pre-1998 Bubba Kush S1

[TheGreenYeti]

That sure is a funky looking top Chimp. What make you think that those two clones are from an s1 and not the original? They do look slightly different by I have seen two clones from the same mom be slightly different. Though I have noticed more that clones can differ from seed mom's pretty significantly. I had a skunk 1 that was pretty great from seed. The smell was great the nugs were thick and dense and frosty on the plant from seed and then the clones of it just did not compare. The nugs were smaller and wispier and it just never filled in as much or frosted up the same. All grown the same way in the same set up.

I remember taking two clones from that last S1 grow, but I didn't mark the tags as S1. I've been doing clones of the original plant and got them all mixed up. Close to the end like this the differences in phenotypes show the most and there are two that show, so I think it's them.

Is that a polyploid GDP????? Freakin awesome...

Yep, and unlike others I've had this one isn't converting back to normal. I'm gonna pollinate it with its sister, a plant that was triple node but converted back (it's a feminized plant, but I'm treating it with colloidal silver solution).

Ok that makes sense then. To me they look fairly similar other than coloration. The last two pics look pretty much the same.

How goes trying to get pollen from the regular two? You had showed pics that looked like the reversal may be starting to throw out male flowers I am just wondering if anything came of them.

They don't look much further along (I'll try to get pics up tomorrow), and the tops look a few weeks from chop. I hope it works this time but I'm a little worried it might not. If the male flowers form and the second normal S1 is too far along I have an original GDP clone I just put into flower that I could pollinate to make S2. After seeing the difference in this GDP S1, I think I'd be better off anyway:

Original GDP:

Here's a few shots of the CS treated normal GDP S1 plant. As I mentioned before, I started treating at the first sight of hairs, which I think was too late. Some of the lower flowers formed male parts (I see a seed or two already):

and a few didn't (the second pic is the top):

The very lowest nodes on the plant look more promising as far as pollinating the second normal GDP S1 in the closet with it:

But I'm not sure if I have enough time (this is the second normal GDP S1):

Bummer too 'cause it's the better looking one of the two:

The weird GDP S1 I treated isn't showing signs of male parts yet, at least not that I can see with my eyes.

 

[TheGreenYeti]

I've never purposefully pollinated anything before but could you still pollinate the second normal one as soon as you can and then just let it run as long as it takes for the seeds to mature?

Also it seems like no matter which one of those gets run they end up super frosty :thumbs:

 

[PotChimp]

That's what I'm trying to do if I can. I might even be able to chop the top and leave the rest growing. I think if the rest of the plant gets pollinated it'll live long enough to grow the seeds.
Original GDP chop - .7 oh-zees

Got more comin' soon too.

Looking great.. I wanted a purple strain so I picked up a purple urkle and her buds are much smaller than this beast. Seems like she doesn't want to change color for me. I my lowest temp is 74 and I can't get it lower with out hurting the rest of my ladies. Any suggestions on forcing her purple? I picked up some purple Maxx to help but I don't think it's going to work like I hoped.

 

[PotChimp]

It's not something I would suggest to anyone, but I've noticed before that a lack of certain nutes (not sure which one or ones) causes color to come out more. I mostly think that if it's not in the genetics to turn color that it won't. Until the last few weeks before chop I don't see major color change in these, if that helps any.

Chimpa Choppa Chunga!!!!!

This Grand Daddy Purple S1 clone purpled up big:

These are the lower branches I cut off and put into the mother pot to reveg after chop:

The small roots broke off the one I pulled (you can barely see two at the bottom of the cut):

You can see that they don't root much in bloom (I've read that before too), and I think that's why those plants look yellow like this when I grow them all the way out instead of taking a cutting from them and and culling (original GDP clone):

This other GDP S1 clone from the same plant for some reason didn't get as purple:

But they're on the drying rack! ooh ooh ooh, AHH AHH AHH!!!!!

 

[Twox]

Really nice looking nugs, I bet they smell good too.... I definetly want to try some GDP clones now.

 

[PotChimp]

The darker GDP S1 is almost straight skunk with a tiny bit of grape in the background, the lighter GDP S1 less skunky and more grapey, and the original seems to be an even mix leaning a little more towards the skunk smell.

Normal GDP S1 plant treated with colloidal silver:

Other normal GDP S1 (I'm hoping these lower flowers will pollinate if I chop the top of the plant off soon):

I slapped this bastard like a red head orphan stepchild!

Chimpa Choppa Chunga!!!!!

This Grand Daddy Purple S1 clone purpled up big:

Now those are some fall colors!!!! Very Beautiful.

Notes: I ran out of CS solution to treat the two mutated GDP S1 plants yesterday, so I'll have to do a close inspection of the treated plant to see if I need to make more. I'm going to chop the tops of the two normal GDP S1 plants in about a week or so. The male flowers are coming out more on the bottom so this might work out after all. If not, I'll pollinate this (original GDP clone):

I'm not sure if a backcross like that makes it S2 or not.....

 

[PotChimp]

Here that GDP plant is again:

I might just pollinate it anyway just to be sure I get more seeds. I might chop the top half of both normal GDP S1 plants between today and Monday to open up the bottom flowers; one or two of the male flowers opened up.

GDP S1 polyploid:

A flower from the other polyploid that turned back normal; hoping to see male parts soon and thinking I should have treated the one that stayed weird instead:

So far, in my limited experience, my crosses have usually kept the growth habit of the mother.
